@TylerEnglander It also feels notable that Lucas has been vocal about this budget feud on social media. In Tyler's post, he gets Spanberger's response to that.
I've not found Tyler to be someone who makes mountains out of molehills. Tbh, I think he'd rather report on molehills. Less stressful!
As Virginia is the data center capital of the world and there is documented evidence from regulatory agencies on the strain data centers will place on our electrical grid, I do believe it's fair to say @TylerEnglander is reporting on THE drama.
Richmond media is trying to make this more than it is bc they don't have any drama to report on. "Spanberger added that data centers should pay their fair share and mentioned they should pay for the electricity they use."
A pretty good reminder that while you may hate your neighbor for being a Republican or Democrat, politicians from opposing parties often get along and treat each other civilly.
I see it every day during the General Assembly session.
Like a lot of other people, I've been working on establishing myself on a certain butterfly-themed app. My handle over there is my first and last name, for those also migrating. 🦋
Point is, I went home Tues. night feeling so proud to be part of this team. (Even if I was proud AND totally exhausted!)
As I approach my one-year anniversary with @8NEWS, I am reminded over again and over again why I chased the opportunity to start my career here.💚 3/3
Reflecting on Election Night from the perspective of a newsroom newbie, I can say with 100% certainty that that was one of the most difficult yet rewarding things I have done in my life. I am so honored to be part of such an amazing team here at @8NEWS. The passion and energy 1/?
that each and every person on our election coverage team brought to the table last night was inspiring. Everyone was in-sync, everyone was eager to provide the most thorough and accurate reporting we possibly could -- and I think we did a damn good job of it. 2/?
